Adventure in AWS Cloud Computing and Automation

I made this quick video so I can show you how I work with Ansible and Bash scripting to deploy nginx to a Amazon Web Services EC2 Image. Ansible you just need a SSH key so, using bash to install the playbooks is a great option. Of course this isn’t something you would want to do for a fully automated configuration management solution. Puppet and Chef are much more suited for that type of application. #aws #cloud #iot #data

Here is a quick video I made on how you can use python and boto3 to interact with AWS in the same way you would use awscl! #data #iot #aws #cloud

AWS has really made it easy to interact with their services via the Python SDK. This is very well documented and, for those shops who code mostly in Python I’m sure you already are using this sort of thing

I came across this script I wrote a while back that was on my github. It’s an example how you can use Ansible playbooks along with simple bash scripting to bootstrap machines. It’s not exactly cutting edge but I enjoyed coming across it again:
